Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
It really does annoy me when english fans moan about other players falling over/diving all the time. Joe Cole, Michael Owen, Ashley Cole, Gerrard all have been guilty of falling over very easily. Yes the Portuguese did go to ground abit to often, but its not a case of this not happening with england players.
Ronaldo has been called a cheat by every single england fan ive bumped into today, but it wasnt him who stamped on a players groin or pushed at another player under the ref's nose. Oh and he also didnt slip on Gerrard's, Lampard's or Carrager's tops during the shoot out and took their penalties for them.
Yes they were clearly out to phsyche out Rooney, but thats football/competition for you. If you can't handle the pressure and provocation in a world cup quarater final then you shouldnt be playing in it at all.
